Fitter and Faster Swim Camps is the proud sponsor of SwimSwam’s College Recruiting Channel and all commitment news. For many, swimming in college is a lifelong dream that is pursued with dedication and determination. Fitter and Faster is proud to honor these athletes and those who supported them on their journey.
USA Swimming Scholastic All-American Caroline Kilty from Ashburn, Virginia, has verbally committed to swim and study at Boston College beginning next fall. She wrote on social media:
“I am incredibly excited to announce my verbal commitment to continue my academic and athletic careers at Boston College! I would like to thanks my coaches, teammates, friends and family for all their support throughout the years. I would also like to thank Coach Dara and Coach Bruno for this amazing opportunity! I am so excited to see what the future holds at BC! GO EAGLES!!”
Kilty is a senior at Briar Woods High School. Last season, she led the girls’ varsity team to the regional championship with wins in the 200 IM, 500 free, 400 free relay, and 200 medley relay. At the VHSL 5A State Championship, she was runner-up in both the 200 IM (2:03.93) and 100 free (51.94), clocking PBs on both events. As a sophomore, she was an ‘A’ finalist in both the 100 free (3rd) and 100 back (8th). In 2023, she placed 5th in the 100 free and 14th in the 200 free.
In 2025, she was the Loudoun County Swimmer of the Year. The Washington Post named her “Honorable Mention” on the 2025 Spring All-Met team.
Kilty swims year round for Nation’s Capital Swim Club (NCAP) Loudoun under Jessica Fry and Shannon McConagha.
She followed up her junior year high school season with an appearance at NCSA Spring Championships. There, she competed in the 50 free, 100 free, 50 back, 100 back, 200 back, 200 breast, and 200 IM, and landed a lifetime-best 56.62 in the 100 back.
This summer, Kilty opened her long-course campaign with PBs in the 100 free (58.43), 50 back (31.72), and 50 breast (36.62) at PSS Fort Lauderdale. She wrapped up the season at Greensboro Futures. There, she finaled in the 200 IM (23rd place) and finished 56th in prelims of the 100 free, 39th in the 400 free, 121st in the 100 back, and 67th in the 200 breast. She left the meet with new best times in the 400 free (4:32.14) and 200 breast (2:46.53).

Kilty joins Avery Cunneen in committing to Boston College’s Class of 2030. It took 1:58.69/4:16.30 in the IMs and 48.72/1:46.56/4:46.77 in the freestyles to score at the 2025 ACC Championships, where BC placed 15th out of 15 teams in the women’s meet.
